Yeah me too, it looks like one doesn't it? I remember the first time I saw a bull netch, I actually thought it was a silt strider, and that they made the game so realistic that you could see silt strider's travelling.

However, the noises made by both species are quite different, if that has any relevance.

Thanks guys much help appreciated! Man this game is SO COOL!!
I have another problem. I went into this cave shrine with a lot of candles. I stumbled upon a greater Bonewalker. Casted some magic on me. I killed the beast but it reduced my strength and endurance to zero. How long is the duration going to last?

you can go to temple and press the altar to remove those effect.

Yes I suppose. But since I have zero strength I can't move. Unless I take off ALL my stuff. I haven't had the chance to fully explore the area. And I'm afraid I might stumble upon another foe. But I'll take the risk anyway. Thanks Kakero.

then I suggest you go buy restore strength spell ( and other restore attribute spell as well ). you may find them in temple in balmora or the fort near balmora. this spell may come in handy when in future you encounter the same problem.

Wait a few minutes. The effects should wear off.

Do they? I never found spells like that to wear off. Reduce strength must be the most annoying thing in the game, Sythe! ;) I was usually sitting around my max carrying load all the time as well, stupid girly arms :D . Definitely stock up on restore strength potions before you go exploring - if you can make them yourself it's all the better. Also, if you have the spells mark and recall then if you don't have a restore strength spell you can drop your stuff and teleport to a temple to get the effects removed after marking where you were [img]smile.gif[/img]

Most of the undead monster spells are drain attribute spells which wear off after some time. There's also damage attribute which can only be fixed with the restore attribute items. There is a bug where if you have a stat boosted by an item and you get drained or damaged, the attribut will only restore to 100 (or whatever your natural max may be). When you un-equip the item you end up with remaining damage and have to restore all over again.

If I remember correctly, some of those spell never wear off. had to use the restore attribute spell to cancel off the effect.

It would be a good time to use an Almsvii or divine intervention spell or scroll, if you have them. Teleport directly to the altar before dropping your gear...

If you use the 'corprus' cheat to boost your base strength past 100, I don't think you can ever restore the number to what it was before the attack-- won't go past the magic 100. If you don't take off any strength [or other attribute] boosting gear, the restore attribute won't work: any 'artificial' boosts must be removed...

A belt or other object enchanted to restore a few points to EVERY attribute is a nice thing to have: wouldn't be without mine...
